The rooster crows indignant of the stifling heat and humidity that is already billowing in through open windows of the old farm house. He seems to be daring the day into being, his mighty crow a lusty, bring it on dare. I, on the other hand, am not feeling so bold this morning, longing for…

A hard killing frost several weeks ago, had the kids and I stashing the tender tomatoes, summer squash, cucumbers, peppers, and melons into baskets, buckets, and dishpans, mostly anything we can get our…

Fall is ripe for adventure. There are football games and tailgating, extra friends home after the big game, bonfires under starlit skies, last minute sunny afternoon picnics, bike rides down winding gravel roads, apple picking, and hiking through fall colors. All this activity calls for a little something to keep everyone well fed and…

Zucchini + Noodles = Zoodles! Really. Fresh raw pasta, adorned with summertime flavors paints a new picture of zucchini. One splashed with vibrant flavors, rich smooth oils, mingling with tantalizing tomatoes, all on a zucchini canvas. Which as you know, if you have ever delt with summer’s most abundant vegetable, is ripe with opportunity to…

Otherwise known as easy overnight oats. YUM! Bircher-Muesli is a simple, traditional, soaked & cultured, overnight oatmeal that takes just a few moments before bedtime to be ready upon your rising in the morning.
